This should be updated to:
khdr_dir = ${abs_srctree}/usr/include

Using a global KHDR_DIR instead of khdr_dir could be useful for others too.

This should be kept as is, otherwise we loose this check to rebuild the 
headers if linux/landlock.h is updated, which is handy for development.
KVM lost a similar behavior with this patch series.

This should not be changed.

This doesn't work when building in the local directory because 
$abs_srctree and $KHDR_INCLUDES are empty:
cd tools/testing/selftests/landlock && make
